Rod holder, storage bag, pump suggestions? Any suggestions for extra rod holder (skotty?), storage bag or a two way pump? Thanks.

Everything has worked fine so far. Only used three times. Am having aluminum oar locks made, as plastic too soft. Used my electric trolling motor on craft, which worked good. Need to design a rudder, as in windy conditions hard to hold a course with motor. Overall pleased with quality and price.

I found a two way pump for under $20 that works great. The rod holder it comes with is fine (although a but small) and it has plenty of storage. You might consider a small dry bag for a phone or camera, etc. I've had it on the river (nothing over class 3 rapids) and on the lake and it's plenty sturdy and doesn't leak a bit.

The included rod holder does not work with fly rods with a fighting butt, the classic pump works great but any 2way pump will do. As far as storage goes there is plenty with the included gear bags only thing to add is a dry bag if needed

I have an extra rod holder on mine. It is a little tricky having two fishing rods on the boat while using the oars. If you are using an electric motor two rods would be fine. It does come with one rod holder.

Another item......bought a electric pump, which plugs into cigarette lighter in my pickup for $10 and works great!

The standard rod holders are pretty insufficient. I added a skotty fly rod holder. The storage bags that come with it are fantastic. I have a "K-Pump" that I got with a different boat that works great. Hope this helps....

The attachments are a normal variety pack that comes with any pump, even my Battery Jumper Pack for my car with a built in pump that I got from Costco has the same assortment of attachments, so any local sporting goods store would sell packs of attachments if you want duplicates of them. I keep my attachments in a tiny sized Hefty slider bag and place it along with the entire pump in a 2 1/2 Gallon Jumbo sized Hefty slider bag. Slider bags with the moving tab are more secure than old fashioned ziplock bags that split and once they are closed you don't have to worry about losing anything.

I have never looked at Lowes, but looked online. They are very similar. The one from Amazon looks like it has more shelves, but less rod space. (Judging by the pic)

We just blew it up with lip power! If you wanted to use a pump, I would suggest the type used to inflate air mattresses. just leave inflated and hang at end of tub to store. The included suction cup hook is too weak to hold tub,Replaced it with a better hook that works well.

Hi, Mine came with a razor hook that you could attach through the ... ribs? ... of the main caddy. I kept it, but I never used it. I really liked the caddy, though. I've had mine for just over a year, and they've held up extremely well. Easy to clean, stay up very well, etc. Very pleased. About the razor hook, though - I guess one of the things that I didn't like was that I couldn't hook it symmetrically.

I have an extreme 2, they worked great and I needed them to really be able to use the machine. If you have two spots available for additional rods, you shouldn't have any problem. Hope this helps.

Hi there are compartments to store the reels seperately. Attaching the reels to the rods should also be no problem as you can remove the partitioned layers, although the rods maybe susceptible to falling from side to side in the case when you are moviing it. I hold 3 rods in each compartment and they are 10ft*4 piece) so your 5ft rods should be no problem

Not too sure what scuba gear fully involves but I'm guessing the main issues would be tank weight and protection for hoses/valves. The mesh basket holds up well to a medium sized cooler but we put a blanket in first to distribute weight then the bulky lighter stuff on top ot the (20lb?) cooler. It always impresses people who are carrying their stuff but it's mostly a bulk containment system (vs. a wheelbarrow). You might get away with a lilltle more weight but any irregular surfaces and something's gotta give.

You can use the pump outside the bag. The pump is attached to the bag with Velcros. It is easily detachable...

There is a big carrying handle on the front that you could loop a cable-type bike lock through, if you had a post or tree close enough. The other option is to simply deflate it and take it with you. We have a rolling duffle bag that the kayak, pump and paddles all fit in, and we've occasionally bungeed the duffle to the back storage compartment so that we could take a one-way trip downstream and then take the kayak back with us on a bus.

I haven't moved my RV since buying the tank, but since it is not something I would want to bring inside, I would probably store it in the underneath storage area if I had room. As a last resort, could tie it to the rack on top of my 5th wheel.

I got the same thing, small bag with rubber-ish fish and few implements. Anyone has idea what that's for? It doesn't seem that it's needed for assembling.

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

We have some accessories like Oxygen tank holder, Elevating Leg rests and rear basket. What are you looking for exactly?

It is pretty durable so I don't see there being a problem. I would keep the outside, extendable rods with little weight garments. But the inner section will be able to hold what you have.

There is an elastic net where you can store water shoes or that type of stuff, but nothing for tackle box or a pole. I would also be worried about hooks puncturing the inflatable tubes.
